Ye Xun shook his head slightly and said: "Gods and demons? Who has seen gods and demons? The cemetery of immortals and demons is just the saying of the detective hand, and the master's view is the place where gods are buried. In my master's opinion, there is no relationship between gods and demons." There is no clear boundary, who is a god? who is a demon? In his opinion, the gods and demons in Chinese mythology are too fake, while the gods and demons in Greek mythology appear real."
Regarding the differences between Greek and Chinese mythology, I once discussed it with others when I was in school.
In Greek mythology, the gods are more humane, but in Chinese gods, divinity occupies the mainstream. This is closely related to the cultural foundation of the two countries.
Greek culture was full of freedom, looseness, emphasis on blood and chaos. For them, divine power is more like a tool for whatever they want. Powerful, indulgent, and unscrupulous, enslaving mortals as captives, or even becoming part of the gods' games, are the characteristics of Greek gods.
The people of China prefer order, personal improvement, and the victory of man over nature. That's why more and more real-life characters are ranked in the Immortal Class. However, after becoming immortals, they have more restrictions. Staying away from the world, adhering to the rules of distinction between immortals and mortals, trying not to interact with mortals, occasionally meddling in the injustices of the world, leaving a legend behind and then drifting away, this is the characteristic of Xia Tianxian.
Ye Xun's master was talking about gods and demons, not immortal demons. This shows that he has a speculation about the cemetery, that is, the gods buried under the yellow sand are not from China.
In ancient times, the desert was the intersection between China and foreign lands. The gods and demons buried there may have come from foreign lands.
I hesitated for a moment before asking: "Ye Xun, did your master mention the origin of gods and demons?"
Ye Xun shook his head and said: "No, my master is very secretive about the burial of the bones of gods and demons. He never wants to say anything more! Yinghuo's lineage may know more."
When I looked at Li Xiaomao with hope, the latter actually shook his head: "Yinghuo's lineage doesn't have any records about the tombs of gods and demons, not even oral records. We just go to the Chongyang Festival every year. A fixed place, waiting for the previous Yinghuo to connect us to the cemetery."
I suddenly asked: "Where is your joint?"
Li Xiaomao said: "It's where you set out to enter the desert. As long as we arrive there in advance and leave a mark, Yinghuo will come looking for us. I have never entered Tianshakou, so I don't know what secrets Yinghuo left. "
I roughly estimated the time and found that almost half a month has passed since the ninth day of September.
I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart: "You mean, Yinghuo didn't come to pick you up this time?"
"Yes!" Li Xiaomao said: "No matter whether the new generation of Yinghuo comes or not, the previous generation of Yinghuo will always rush to the town on the ninth day of September every year and never miss an appointment. Unless something unexpected happens."
When Li Xiaomao looked at me, my expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Si Ruo broke a sky sand mouth;
The Yinghuo that should have appeared did not appear;
If Si Ruo and Ying Huo met, I couldn't help but tremble. I looked at Ye Xun with a pale face, but the latter seemed to know nothing and took out the wine bottle and took a sip into his mouth.
With Ye Xun's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to guess what I was thinking. He didn't say anything because he didn't want to doubt Si Ruo unreasonably and put me in a dilemma in advance, but what if...
Although Ye Xun just told me that Yinghuo is a branch of his master's sect. However, judging from the familiarity between him and Li Xiaomao, the mountain gates of the two sects will not be too far apart. They may even be in the same position as the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect in the novel, in the front mountain and the back mountain. Otherwise, Ye Xun would not have been his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart Li Xiaomao.
Maybe, Yinghuo's head and Ye Xun's master...
I didn't dare to think about it any more, I could only pray that Si Ruo would never run into that one-quarter chance.
When I was lowering my head to smoke, Dr. Bai walked in quickly: "Wang Huan, follow me!"
Dr. Bai must have made important discoveries in such a hurry. I quickly got up and walked into the laboratory with her. Dr. Bai pointed at the screen and said: "The iron plates you brought back do not have only one combination..."
Only then did I remember that every iron plate I found had four-side slots, which meant that any iron plate could be placed at will. Moreover, the patterns on each iron plate can be independently painted. In this way, the combination of iron plates will increase geometrically. The difficulty of deciphering the Wordless Heavenly Book will also increase infinitely. It will be difficult to decipher the Wordless Heavenly Book in a short period of time with human power alone.
While I was frowning, Dr. Bai continued: "When I tried to scan the iron plate just now, I found that this wordless book is a picture within a picture, and there is a picture hidden on the iron plate."
Dr. Bai called up a picture: "Look, this is the picture-in-picture we scanned."
That picture seems to be filled with gods and Buddhas all over the sky. The painting work is extremely exquisite. The faces of the gods and Buddhas are not only vivid, but also very spiritual. However, I don't feel the slightest sense of Zen. Instead, I feel a strong sense of craftsmanship. The person who drew this picture of immortal Buddha must be a master of painting, but he may not believe in Buddhism. Therefore, there is only craftsmanship and no Zen charm in the whole painting.
Ren Tianqing whispered: "Why do I seem to have seen this painting somewhere?"
When Ren Tianqing said this, I also felt that the scroll on the iron plate seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. While I was thinking about it, Dr. Bai said again: "Look here!"
When I looked at the screen, my eyes couldn't help but light up. A map appeared on the screen.
I stood up and said, "This was also scanned?"
As soon as I said those words, my heart went cold. The map clearly didn't depict a desert, but the interior of some kind of large building.
Dr. Bai did not hear the disappointment in my words: "This is the third picture-in-picture. If we accidentally perform a deep scan, we still cannot find the existence of this map. But..."
Dr. Bai changed the subject and said, "However, I have to say that this map may be meaningless."
As Dr. Bai kept pressing the remote control, the map on the screen began to change. Every room marked on the map could be connected together at will without any violation. This means that the map scanned from the iron plate can change endlessly, and since we are missing an iron plate, the changes cannot be explored.
The wordless heavenly book does not mean that it cannot be deciphered, otherwise, the consciousness of leaving a book will be lost.
But what do these pictures represent
When I was puzzled, Ren Tianqing suddenly said: "Bring me a brush, Dr. Bai, and put the picture over from the beginning."
When Dr. Bai adjusted the picture again, Ren Tianqing took a brush and started drawing on the white paper. At first, I didn’t know what Ren Tianqing was drawing. After a while, I discovered that what she was drawing was the map on the screen, except that she replaced the rooms with ink dots and the corridors with horizontal and vertical lines. After Ren Tianqing finished several paintings, I realized that the patterns she drew looked like some unknown characters.
Ren Tianqing took a few pictures in a row before putting down the pen and saying: "What a pity, there is an iron plate missing! There is no way to restore the full picture of that ancient writing."
I looked at the picture and said, "What text is this?"
Ren Tianqing shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before!"
I know that Ren Tianqing is very interested in ancient characters and has even done further study. At that time, I asked her specifically: Why do you have to study those obscure things
Ren Tianqing told me: Only with skill can you not get on the list of gods. An excellent detective is not only superior in strength, but also knowledgeable and talented. Being able to read the ancient characters in the restricted area of mythology may save your life. At that time, Ren Tianqing also said that she would have to marry whoever could crack the "Red Cliff Book" even if she pursued him.
Ren Tianqing bit the end of her pen and said, "Look, do these incomplete words look like the Red Cliff Book of Heaven?"
The Hongya Book of Heaven is a mysterious symbol hidden deep in the Shaijia Mountain in the hinterland of Guizhou. The symbols are neither carved nor chiselled, and have no marks. They are as if they were written on the rock wall. However, they have experienced countless years of wind and rain. But it is still the same, the color is particularly new, and it will make people feel endless mystery as long as it is in front of you.
Scholars have identified the Hongya Book of Heaven as an ancient text, but no one can decipher the meaning of the text or even determine the exact age of the book. The Hongya Book of Heaven is famous all over the world.
I have read the Red Cliff Heavenly Book with Ren Tianqing before. Although the words she wrote now are somewhat similar to the Red Cliff Heavenly Book, they feel specious.
When I was looking at that text, Dr. Bai suddenly said: "This is not the Red Cliff Book of Heaven. I know its source. This text comes from Dunhuang."
I turned around suddenly and said, "How do you know?"
Dr. Bai searched in the database for a while before pulling out a piece of information: "See for yourself!"
When I saw the photo on the screen, I couldn't help but froze on the spot. It was obviously a book inscribed on the wall with ancient characters. Several of the words were exactly the same as those written by Ren Tianqing. What was even more strange was that the words were either missing corners or missing a piece in the middle.
I suddenly realized: "It turns out that there are only eight iron plates. Ren Tianqing cannot write all the ancient texts. It is not because one iron plate is missing, but because the ancient characters on the iron plates are missing. Where did you get this?"
Dr. Bai took a deep breath and said: "This text comes from a scholar, which can also be said to be a prisoner. He brought back the most precious information, but he was also sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide."
Dr. Bai said: "That man's name is Fan Chongyi. It can be said that he is a generation of wizards in the archaeological world. When he was sentenced, many scholars expressed regret, and the project he led to study the Dunhuang Book of Heaven was terminated. This can not but be said to be a kind of Loss? Just like this piece of information you saw, Dr. Fan named it the Heavenly Book with Broken Characters. He originally thought that there would be major discoveries after cracking the Heavenly Book, but unfortunately, he went to jail before he could decipher the Heavenly Book. "
